Barren - Any pointers? I've Not Been There.

No Bew I put in at the state dock went up the river. I hadn't been on beaver but two or three times all spring but done pretty good over there last year, or at lest what I call good 5 or 6 in a 3 to 4 hr. trip. When ya planing on fishing?

Probably not this weekend....too many chores stacked up. I would like to think next Saturday, but that's the weekend of the Fourth, and I don't love hitting the lakes on long weekends when things get crazy out there. But if it is anything like last Saturday, even when crazy it won't be too populated. I was taken aback at how little boat traffic there really was on Barren last weekend. Was on the water until almost 2, but traffic was only sporadic. Is that typical? Do you think next weekend will be crazy?

The following weekend, I'm off to Barkley with some pals for our 19th year in a row for our fishing outing there. Looking forward to that!

It won't ba AS bad up Beaver where you were fishing. Most of the pleasure boaters don't run up that far. There is a BFL here this weekend. You won't be able to stir the boats with a stick. Next weekend it will be worse. I would go to Kentucky Lake. Even on the 4th that place is big enough to find a hole with nobody in it.

Bew if I can figure out how to do it I'll send you a email with some pic. an GPS spots. Do ya have a GPS?

[BEW]

Well, I'd go to Kentucky or Barkley, too, but it's three+ hours away (I'm in Crestwood - Louisville area)...that's a big drive for a day-trip. And since I'm bound there for four days the following weekend, probably not my best move.

I'll probably end up doing what I always do on a long weekend like that -- stay home and organize my tackle! LOL.

I hear ya, I plan more then anything else

I do have a GPS - has FHS 4.0 on it, too. I use it religiously. That would be terrific if you're able to.
